Challenging little target....

Shot this one this morning for a little friendly competition;

Frontier .50 cal
50 grains Triple 7 2f powder
.490 patched lead ball

Had to be 25 yds off hand to qualify. 1 shot at each 1.5" bullseye. No do-overs.

11F this morning at the range, zero wind though which is why I went early. Tough one for sure.

Typical spring day here....11F with snow, then 4 hours later 45F, snow is gone and sunshine. Saw someone in town with winter coat and flip flops on.

Took my full stock to the range today along with a pistol. Full Stock had issues. Found a load for the pistol but my rifle needs attention
